Silicon Audition: Concise Bibliography

Silicon Audition: Concise Bibliography

Between 1983 and 1997, my research centered on Silicon Audition: the design of analog integrated circuits that model auditory neurophysiology, and the use of these circuits in engineering systems. This research was done in collaboration with many people at several institutions: as an undergraduate working with Paul Mueller at the University of Pennsylvania, as a graduate student working with Carver Mead and Dick Lyon at Caltech, and as a postdoctoral fellow and research scientist at UC Berkeley, working with John Wawryznek. Grants from the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation funded the work at Berkeley.

This web page is an concise reverse-chronological bibliography of my silicon audition research publications, including related work in analog circuit design. Links in references below lead to PDF versions of the papers; in some cases, the PDF isn't the exact publication, but a technical report covering the same material. An annotated bibliography is also available.
